Luke 13:6-9
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
6 And He began telling this parable: “A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any. 7 And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’ 8 And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; 9 and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
2011 was the year of struggles, sadness, disappointments, situations, and circumstances weighed you down. You said you would pray,fast , read your bible more but you couldn't get yourself together. All the hell you went through you have another chance. Anyone can die whether they are righteous or not. You can die at any given time. The devil could have take you out last year but God told the devil no. He has given you another chance. Another chance to live right, holy, righteous, etc.
If your fruit doesn't show judgment comes (v6-7). If you can't get yourself together God will get upset after all the sparing He did. We are in danger of being cut down. The man said in the above scriptures to give it another year and if no fruit comes then to cut it down. God's giving us another year. Make up in your mind you will bear fruit in 2012.
The fig tree was planted wither it liked it or not. Other trees had the same light, exposure, etc. How long are you going to let other people around you produce fruit and they are not as gifted? Be determined to not let those who are not saved out do you. You have to the same opportunities and chance as others. It takes 3 years for fig trees to produce fruit but the one in the parable did not. How much fruit is supposed to be there but has not manifested? Get yourself together.
We have a black president which caught us by surprise. What would you do if things happened in your life that wasn't suppose to happen?

1 John 3:2
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
Don't let one day go by in 2012 with out taking advantage of 2012.
2 Kings 6:5-7
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” 6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And when he showed him the place, he cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. 7 He said, “Take it up for yourself.” So he put out his hand and took it.
If he didn't reach out for the axehead he would have missed it. IF you don't reach out and grab it you can't blame anyone but yourself. There's so much potential but you killed it with doubt and unbelief.
Luke 13:8-9
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; 9 and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
All the hell you went through could have been fertilized. Jesus could have been preparing you for the next 365 days. Jesus said not to cut you down so you could have another chance.
John 15:8
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
8 My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ]prove to be My disciples.
Your prayer life doesn't prove you are a disciple. It's your love walk. You have another chance to be like Him. 2012 will be the best year of your life. You have to have your mind made up that you will bless the Lord at all times.
